Detailed explanation-1: -As their conflict took shape, the church’s resistance only strengthened Luther’s growing conviction that the Roman Church had grown corrupt, luxuriant, and removed from its flock. In this context, the Ninety-five Theses were transformed from an academic agenda into a manifesto of church reform.
Detailed explanation-2: -Martin Luther, a German teacher and a monk, brought about the Protestant Reformation when he challenged the Catholic Church’s teachings starting in 1517. The Protestant Reformation was a religious reform movement that swept through Europe in the 1500s.
Detailed explanation-3: -Luther refused to recant and requested that the case be reviewed by university theologians. This request was denied, so Luther appealed to the pope before leaving Augsburg. Luther was finally excommunicated in 1521 after he burned the papal bull threatening him to recant or face excommunication.
